SUMMARY:Session two - The three gateways to successful transaction execut
 ion
DESCRIPTION:Merger control\, which used to be a relatively predictable ar
 ea of competition law\, is now undergoing major developments all around 
 the world including in Europe. The days of a ‘light touch’ approach are 
 clearly over: competition authorities globally and in Europe are gaining
  increasingly stronger powers to review an ever wider range of transacti
 ons (including new approaches to jurisdiction and the reversal of the bu
 rden of proof). At the same time\, for large global deals in a growing n
 umber of industry sectors\, the number of foreign direct investment appr
 ovals required can now outnumber the necessary merger approvals. Add to 
 this the new EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation mandatory notification syst
 em coming into effect on 12 October 2023 for deals involving firms benef
 itting from state aid. The result is the need for tripartite regulatory 
 transaction planning. How can companies navigate these complex waters?
